Some time ago, I gave the idea of to have a sub-forum but it got rejected.

Now I see the section Beyond Mugen back and it has some new subforuns, like Fighter Creator and even mugen-clone IKEMEN.

So, can we have a OpenBOR subsection under Beyond Mugen? This could bring more attention to that engine (and both engines could share ideas) because our posts are buried in Games section.

openbor as an engine does way different things, its a beatemup engine correct?

i feel like its too niche to deserve a specific spot in a mugen forum. ikemen and fighter maker are engines with similar alignments to mugen/. ikemen is basically mugen with netplay and fighter maker is similar to mugen in its objective: making 2d pvp fighting games.

i realize you can do other things with mugen that are more similar to openbor work but i still think its too niche.

No. It had started as a Beat 'em Up engine, but you can do pretty almost anything with it. Racing Games, platform games, RPG games, 2d pvp fighting games, etc.

Its far more versatile than Mugen in many aspects. It uses C-based scripts so you can really code new things for your game and even get into the source code.

A Website like Mugenguild should have a OpenBor board. Remember when OpenBor came out and many Mugen users, creators registered there to help them. They even made and still are making Games. It would be Great to have a OpenBor section here. I am all for this.

Since we come from MUGEN, and some of our collaborators too, should be nice a place to post our projects here too, instead of "gamimg" where people go to see new generation posts.

yeah, like cyan paul stated there, fm, ef-12, and ikemen have huge overlap with MUGEN and that really does justify their own boards

the openBOR project is great, but there really isnt much content on this board that already exists, and i cant see much more arising from this specific community just because there is a board.

the fact these threads do get "buried" can also just be seen as openBOR not really aligning with the forum general interest, and id suspect the board would be pretty barren asides from you and couple others efforts.

even the boards we already have are pretty fuckin dead.

Make a generic board for "Your non mugen projects" if something is used so much that it begins to standout then we can consider that.

that way we would also have a place for people doing non mugen projects ( but still on our boards) to post their own gaming projects.

I was going to suggest to make a bor board then close it if it dies, just to prove that it was not a very good idea, or in case it does not die keep the board; but Iced's idea sounds actually better as in the board has a better chance to live; also in the eventual case one of the other engine boards dies, it can always get merged with the new  generic doujin games board.

every argument i posted in this thread still remains http://mugenguild.com/forum/all./topics/other-engines-154736.0.html

Your arguments were based on how much activity was given to those areas, in foruns smaller than this one. I think this could be different here since its a bigger forum.

I think this is the best idea then. As I suggested on the other topic, maybe it could be done a "Other Engines" board

Maybe it's just it just me (and I know someone would jump at my neck), but I feel a certain "aversion" to the engine here. I confess that I myself have felt it but then to know better the engine, I changed my mind (and even started to have some aversion to Mugen in some respects...).

I don't want to sound rude, but under Gaming won't work either. It shoud be in Beyond Mugen, makes more sense.

this isnt beyond/offshoot of mugen, its something else entirely. imo it fits more in gaming.

It has little to do with Mugen though, Ikemen, Fighter Creator, and EF-12 both have the general idea of making your own fighter and customizing it. OpenBOR on the other hand features more beat em up games and doesn't fit with the fighting game theme the other ones do. Also OpenBOR is more about full games and releasing them rather than make your own personal game that you can easily add characters to or remove features from. Really, that's the best you're going to get here.

my argument was also based on how many non-mugen game projects this forum had, and judging by all the threads this subforum will have (like 10) it's pretty accurate
